Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans Look to Right Ship

Tony Samboras wrote:Heading into week five of the NFL season, most teams have done enough to show their true colors. For some teams, the picture isn’t pretty. If form holds through week five, both the Tennessee Titans (1-3) and Miami Dolphins (1-3) may be facing an uphill battle if they have any designs on making it to the playoffs.
Going into week four against the Houston Texans, the Titans were sitting last in the league in scoring offense with 14.0 PPG through week 3. This is a concerning trend as they weren’t exactly facing defensive juggernauts in Oakland and Detroit, two teams that sit in the bottom third in the league in scoring defense.
Considering the offense was producing enough yards to maintain a rank of #20 at 357 YPG, one would want to look a little deeper if they wanted to get to the crux of the problem. While there’s plenty of blame to go around, the focus should be placed firmly on second-year QB Marcus Mariota.
